Yoga begins when you take that first deep, mindful breath and feel it move through your body.
We encourage you to really feel it, to listen to your body, explore the moments and the movements, open your heart, clear your mind, and strengthen your physiological self. Yoga differs from any other form of physical activity – a good yoga practice encourages you to cultivate mindfulness, patience, and gratitude, offering long term health benefits.

vinyasa

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is the alignment of movement and breath, a method which turns static yoga postures into a dynamic flow. The length of one inhale or one exhale dictates the length of time spent transitioning between postures. Attention is placed on the breath and the journey between the postures rather than solely on achieving perfect body alignment in a pose. This is a vigorous and dynamic class designed to challenge the student.
Vigorous breath to movement practice increases cardiovascular strength. Focusing on linking conscious breath with mindful flow, it will deepen your strength and flexibility while releasing toxins. We offer heated and non-heated Vinyasa Flow classes.

fundamentals flow

Emphasizing alignment and injury prevention, this ‘yoga movement 101’ practice is taught workshop-style with some flow and plenty of student/teacher feedback and hands on assistance. Great for all level students; new students are introduced to the foundations of a successful yoga practice, learning tools that will allow them to safely grow and participate for years, while seasoned students have the opportunity to refine their practice by exploring the details and depth of essential poses.

restorative

Disconnect from the fast pace of daily life, slow down, and heal physical and mental stress-related symptoms. Soothe the nervous system by practicing stillness and gentle movement for extended periods of time. Accessible poses, supported by a variety of props, allow you to completely relax and reclaim your body’s natural alignment. Beginner friendly.

restorative with sound healing

yin

Yin is a very relaxing class that cultivates patience in the body and mind. Poses apply moderate challenge to the connective tissues-the tendons, fascia, and ligaments – with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Long holds work toward stretching and healing the body from the inside out. Most postures are taken from a seated position. This is a very welcoming class for all levels. Some teachers heat the room a touch, others do not – either way you will leave this class feeling amazing and rested.

soothing

This ‘feel good’ yoga class is designed to give the body and mind true rest and relaxation. These soothing posture sequences encourage comfort and stillness within the postures, while stretching and creating space in your body and mind. This gentle space negates striving and reaching for depth in postures, but rather encourages your most loving, accepting version of the shape you are taking. The soothing postures and stretches are genuinely suited for every level of student, regardless of injuries or perceived limitations. Truly, this class also targets students with sore and tired bodies who would like to opt out of the “work out”. Perhaps just laying down on their mat and stretching for the purpose of feeling good and spending time in the body without expectation is your best medicine.
Let us put you in the ‘Om Zone’.

tai chi

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that is practiced as a graceful form of exercise involving a series of movements, performed in a slow, focused manner accompanied by deep breathing. Tai Chi is a low impact exercise with minimal stress on muscles and joints. Originally developed for self-defense, Tai Chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that is used for stress reduction.
This class is appropriate for beginners.

slow flow

Slow Flow is a mindful, unhurried yoga class that incorporates conscious flowing of breath with movement of body. This class is appropriate for all levels including beginners and brand-new students. The challenge in the class is from awareness of movement that is slow and focused. Therefore, this class can be a welcome change for students who like a fast-flowing, more intermediate-level class as well. This class will build strength through slow, focused movements, will detoxify cells through breathing and sweating, will increase flexibility and range of motion via flowing movements and deep stretching. It includes focused and gentle opening of the body and spine, foundational yoga poses and sun salutations, attention to detail on breath and alignment, and some long holds for strength.

meditation

Practice the ancient art of mindfulness and meditation in a guided group setting. Learn to observe the fluctuations of the mind and explore how the application of mindful breath can reduce stress while healing the mind, body and spirit. Drawing from many different traditions and meditation techniques, this class is suitable for the first time meditator as well as those who have a regular sitting practice.

reiki restore

Heal the body at the cellular and energetic levels during this classic restorative practice, deeply supported by props. Layered with sound healing and energetic assists, class is often an intuitive experience for each student. You are encouraged to bring a journal to record your journey of self-inquiry, and, perhaps a sweet note from the teacher regarding energetic feedback.

flight school

Learn to soar! After warming up with a bit of flow, the focus shifts to exploring and demystifying the tools needed for inversions, arm balances, and handstands. This practice, which breaks down the mechanics of these advanced poses, is taught workshop-style, with plenty of time for feedback and hands-on assistance.

yin + meditation

States of higher awareness and internal calm are cultivated with over time, with practice. And this class is the perfect place to begin your life-long exploration.
Yin is a slow moving class, that uses long, deep holds to create space in the connective tissue thereby improving flexibility and circulation. Most yin postures are taken from a comfortably seated position.
Meditation brings focus to the mind, increasing self-awareness and reducing stress, allowing you to bring balance to your life on and off the mat.

She is an advocate for healing the body, mind, soul, and spirit through natural ways that involve a mindful lifestyle and different varieties of energy healing.
